UAS China 2011 is postponed

China Aviation Publishing & Media Co., Ltd, a subsidiary of China Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC), and the organizer of the UAS China 2011 conference has informed UVS International, that due to an overload of work caused by various aviation related events in China, the decision has been taken to not hold the international UAS China 2011 conference as planned, but to postpone it until next year. One of the driving factors of this decision was the conflict with the AVIC Cup (UAS flight competition) and the Beijing Aviation Expo/China 2011, which are both taking place in Beijing during the same week that the conference was planned for. The international UAS conference, which was planned to take place this year, is being replaced by a smaller national UAS conference with attendance restricted to Chinese nationals, and with all proceedings in Mandarin.
